Currency wins and acquisitions bolstered 1H underlying profit for ALS Ltd, which beat Morgans forecast. Environmental displayed ongoing strength, and Geochem margins were a highlight, offset by pockets of weakness in other areas, explains the broker.

FY24 guidance for profit of between $310-325m was close to existing consensus expectations, and implies to the analyst a flat 2H and  current weak spots could persist.

Management expects Geochem margins to hold above 30%, while Environmental should achieve mid-to high-single-digit organic growth and margin expansion, along with market share gains.

The broker makes only minor forecast changes and the Add rating and $13.35 target are maintained.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 40.00 cents and EPS of 65.00 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 42.00 cents and EPS of 68.00 cents.
